Boolean operators qualify conditions of application

After reading the entire statute, I wonder if the boolean operates are designed to make sure that the rights of U.S. citizens are protected even when an individual state is in crisis and that crisis sparks a level of domestic violence that overwhelms a state's ability to protect its citizens.

Does this law mean that there would have to be a catastrophic event followed by a catastrophic failure of a state to respond followed by widespread violence before the federal government could intervene?
